PHu4DELPHIA.D December 2l.-The organi-
cation Of the Knights Of Labor Is il a de-
plOrabl5 condition, and seems Veritably to
be lettering to its fall. 1t is now ascsrtained
the receipts coming into the general treas
ury are not sufficient now to pay the regular
running expenses Of the order,
The alarming decrease in the membership
of the order, the lapslng OF hundreds
of large and influential assemblies
and the refusal by the great body Of anti
Observation-Disclosures, who oppose what they
term -'the corrupt POWderlY ring" to pay
up their dues and assessments, have reduced
the income Of the general treasury in this
city to One-hIth what it was a year ago; and
the grave apprehension is now rising in the
minds Of the Adn- inistratiOn leader, that
itself will have to be mOrtgaged in
order to raise the money necessary
for urgent current expenses. The regular
quarterly payments OF per capita tax, which
Will be cue February 10, are depended upon
by General Secretary Ldtchman and General
Treasurer Turner as the means Of lquidat-
ing the debts already contracted, but, as
stated heretofore, the gecsssiOnists, who con-
Etitute a large proportion of the member
ship, have resolved to withhold this tax and
thus starVe out the general officers.
Still more to alarm ana terrify the general
officers the provisional committee of the Sc
cessiOn advocates IN this city are cliuging
perslstentIy to the charges preferred at the
Minneapolis convention against Messrs-
POWderly, Litchman and Hayes, namely,
that they mlsapprOprlated $4,000 OF the
orders money during the last year. and last
a5ek they determined again to demand an
tented account of the receipts and eLpen-
GitureS. and In the event Of a refusal, to
bring the case into court IN this city and
openly charge the general officers with theft
and malfeasancs IN Office. This step wall be
taken within the next few weeks at the far
thest, and it will be pushed with VigOr and
determination.

considerable fue jeWelry. The only writing

were notified Of the arrest. McNsally
subsequently, received a dispatch from
Cashier Kelly, of the Saco and Bid
deford saving institution, stating that his

that Wilson representsd to him that s.. Fol
land three years age. and had valued it then
at SO per acre, and that ne, the plaintiff
has since learned that FollansGee reported

rhirty-tvso Days on a DIsnantlod Hulk.
NEW YoRK, December 23.-"For thirty
two days two survivors Of crew Of twenty
eight men existed on a dismantled water
logged hulk in q stormy sea, with never
sail in sight''
Such was the substance of the story told by
Oscar Linn and Henry Magnus, the only
witnesses to the loss of the American clipper
ship Alfred Watts. A dispatch from Phila-
delphia on December IL, told Of the loss Of
the vessel, but this was aftsrWard discrsdi-
ted. Two Scandinavian sailors who stiI
bear evidence in their faces OF the sudsrings
they had endured, gave a detailed account
of the disaster to the reporter. The
Alfred Watts, under command Of the
veteran Captain +. b, johnson, left
Philadelphia on October 8 FOR Hiogo, in
Japan, with a cargo q 4l4,s3 gallons
of case oil On October IS q hurricane
struck the vessel. Shortly after noon a huge
sea boarded the vessel, and Captain Johnson
and twsnty-siL seauen were carried away.
The two sailors, left alone on the great ship,
could only cling to the broken fixtures of the
main deck. The main mast snapped on
close to the deck and the fore and miZZen
masts followed, the sea sweeping everything
overheard. The ship was rapidly filling and
soon the decks were flush with the water.
They managed to obtain some of the brine
soaked provisions on the Watts and some
water from the tanks. On November 20 the
bark Lizzie Ferry, Of Yarmouth, England,
took them OF in an exhausted condition.
The Perry was wrecked a few days later on
a reef of Barbados but every one was saved
by an English steamer.

senate:
DEAR SIRs-As q citizen Of the United

fully but most earnestly protest
against the confirmation Of L. Q. @.
Lamar as justice of the supreme court Of

liant advocate Of ths dissolution Of the

and in principle just as much a traitor as
Jeff Davis. He has never rsCantsd his
trsa enable sentiments. A uian with such
record should never be placed upon the
bench of the supreme court of the United
States by the votes of republicans. Senators,
he is not q At person to interpret the con-

menced falling here yesterday morning and
ia the day a blizzard set in from the north
and has hourly increased in violence. Adj
vices are TO the effect that the blizzard is
general over the west and that it has caught
the country without an adequate supply OF
coal. 1t is known that the coal companies
have for some cause failed to
supply the demand on the plains.
There is great fear that much suffering and
distress will result from this sudden change
in the weather as it Is certain that entire

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, December 21.-Col0nsi
Charles f. Mills, secretary Of the state board
Of agriculture, thinks the outlook for the
agricultural interests Of Illinois in 1888 is
discOuraging. He said to-day that much Of
the winter wheat that was soWn in the fall
of the year fell upon dry ground and failed
to terminate, and that the alternate freezing
and thaWing of an open winter, which sp-
pears probable, will be 50 unfavorable to
the growth of that portion which did derive
sufficient moisture from the soil to make a
start that there is little hope for q good crop.
The reports from the crop correspondents Of
the agricultural board for the month of De-
cembsr have begun to come IN. They show
that the drouth has caused great and wide
spread damage to the farming comm unity
but the corn crop is not as deficient as it
was feared 1t would be.
